Dr.
Mark Braun. I am the person who developed this website. If there are
problems or questions about the site, please contacted me at
braunm@indiana.edu In addition to my
interest in website development and the application of computer technology
to education, I am also a physician. I practiced pathology in a medium sized
general hospital for almost twenty years. In 1994 I returned to the
university and have been primarily responsible for teaching sophomore
pathology since that time. My
research interests are varied and diverge from the more traditional medical
lines. I am studying the impact of infectious diseases that were introduced
by Europeans and Africans into the New World during the time of European
colonization. I use historical documents and even study native American
artistic motifs, looking for references to disease.
Sue Childressis a native
Bloomingtonian and has
many years experience as a microtomist.
Sue has responsibility for the collections of microscope
slides used for courses in histology and pathology and regularly prepares
new slides for those collections. She also works with Medical Sciences
faculty and students in the preparation of research materials for light and
electron microscopy and regularly provides one-on-one instruction to
graduate students and undergraduates in various histological techniques. An
excellent microscopic anatomist, Sue also helps provide one-on-one
instruction of medical students in A560. A visit to her lab in JH 201A will
reveal that she also is an enthusiastin the cultivation of orchids.
